New SDK allows devices operated with EVRYTHNG to implement
connectivity with Nest in less than 30 minutes

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The leading IoT Smart Products Platform EVRYTHNG
today announced at Google I/O a new Software Development Kit (SDK) for
manufacturers who want their devices to interconnect with Nest.

“Having a standardized integration
meant the approval process was extremely fast and painless”

EVRYTHNG worked with Nest to build a certified SDK that can be used to
rapidly set up and configure integrations for products operated using
the EVRYTHNG platform so that they can connect with Nest. As the first
B2B IoT platform solution with an approved reference design for Nest
integration, EVRYTHNG accelerates the development and testing process
for developers and manufacturers, allowing them to quickly submit
devices for Nest approval with confidence.

Nest Cam™ is the first Nest product with a certified SDK, and EVRYTHNG
is working to certify the SDK for other Nest products. For example,
EVRYTHNG customer iHome's Nest-certified SmartPlug product already works
with the Nest Learning Thermostat™.

Dom Guinard, EVRYTHNG CTO and Co-founder said: “Developers on EVRYTHNG
follow the Quick Start walkthrough and their device will be
communicating with the Nest Cloud and Nest Cam API in less than 30
minutes. This saves a huge amount of time for manufacturers whose
products are operated with the EVRYTHNG platform and looking to work
with Nest. By using a certified model which securely handles
authentication, events and messaging between devices via API, the hard
work is already done.”

The EVRYTHNG platform is already powering Nest certified devices, such
as iHome’s Control SmartPlug series. “Having a standardized integration
meant the approval process was extremely fast and painless,” said Gary
Schultz, iHome’s Director of Business and Product Development. “Now we
can easily handle any future API changes or add new Nest devices that we
want our SmartPlug to work with.”

The Nest certified SDK is the latest example of EVRYTHNG’s
Cloud-to-Cloud integrations. These are out-of-the-box connectors that
device manufacturers can use to make their products operated by
EVRYTHNG’s IoT Smart Products Platform work with a growing range of
connected home ecosystems like SmartThings and Wink, or enterprise
platforms like salesforce.com and SAP. Developers can go to https://developers.evrythng.com/
to sign-up for a platform account and use the guide and tools to connect
their devices.

With an open agenda of enabling all consumer products to not only
connect to the Web, but also interact with each other and the other apps
and services in consumers’ digital lives, EVRYTHNG views the Works with
Nest certification as a key milestone.

“In a connected world, products need to work with other products,
applications and services to maximize the value they can create for
customers. Developing and maintaining bespoke integrations with multiple
smart home environments should not be a time-consuming, costly and
technical process. EVRYTHNG simplifies this complexity by offering
out-of-the-box connectors,” says Niall Murphy, CEO and Co-founder of
EVRYTHNG.
